Addressing
the World teaches readers of all ages not only
about the larger themes of technology, sociology and
political science, but also about geography and communication.
It could be read in history and computer classes, not
to mention courses discussing diversity and world cultures.
After reading the entire book, or even
the introduction and a couple of chapters, students
will have ability to look critically at the list of
county codes, Internet domain names, and the world we
live in.
Because the codes, and in many cases
their namesakes, are relatively unfamiliar, studying
them is an excellent personal as well as group activity.
Papers can easily become class presentations, debates
and website projects; as a result, mirroring the development
of the Internet itself, students will learn from their
own work as well as that of their classmates.
There are virtually limitless ways
to integrate the book into a larger curriculum. This
website will publish selected student
work that is sent to us. As you consiser using Addressing
the World in your class, please order an examination
copy.
